Hi all--I don't post here often, but as a newly single mama with a full time school schedule, I'm finding it hard to account for all the hours I need to do things that aren't possible with my kidlet. Anyone else in the same boat? I'd love to try to create some kind of community of mamas who might be able to trade occasional childcare to help each other out.

Anyone have any ideas? My ds is 5 and is in pre-school three days a week, but I have some other commitments that I can't quite keep up with in the absence of a childcare support system. I'm in close-in SE.
